I love this. I do what Sirius is doing all the time; telling myself to remember a specific point in time because it's just so lovely. It's fantasic.

[venilia]

Thank you. I do this too. It always kill me that no matter how much you write down, no matter how much of a moment you get on film, you can never remember exactly everything. But it helps to try because then at least some of it stays in your mind and can be like a patronus when you're having a rough time.

[dooptheory]

You say that so perfectly because I do all of that too and it really is a shame that you can't remember everything.

Very nice. I love the little details Sirius is telling himself to remember.

[venilia]

Thanks. A lot of the memories are of scents and colors because that's how I myself remember things. Example: Summer grass: Green, tickly, smells fresh and sunny and vaguely like hay.

This is wonderful; Thats the best possible word i can think for this.

[venilia]

Thank you very much. I'll take 'wonderful' any day!

Just... *loves*. They're so perfectly happy together and it's all wonderful and nothing is ever, ever going to ruin it and... *goes all teary* I'm sorry, but I can't help the foreshadowing (is angst-whore)

There. Now I've cried all over your fic (but in a very good way). I'm sorry :(

[venilia]

*is also angst-whore*
Yeah, I wasn't sure if anyone was gonna catch that vibe besides me, but it was kinda emotional writing this drabble. To tell you the truth, when I started writing it I had no idea what it was going to be about other than Sirius liking the sound apples make when one bites into them, but then a few sentences in the piece took over and a little editing later here it is. I'm kinda proud of it.
So thank you.

This was so lovely! I do the remember-this-moment thing, too, so that bit really rang true for me. Plus, I get such a vivid and beautiful picture in my mind from this drabble - I can see them all so clearly. :o)

[venilia]

Ah, no higher praise than to say that you experienced the moment with Sirius. That's what I was hoping for, so you're a reviewer come true. Thank you.
